Note: I’m taking a break from the Ship Report for some vacation time. I’ll be back on the air and on Facebook, with updated ship schedules and marine weather reports on Monday, July 29. In the meantime I hope you enjoy this interview series about a tragic real life incident that happened here in our maritime neighborhood.
Today we take a close look at the heart of this story: what happened aboard CG41332 in the harrowing time between when the boat flipped and when the boat was spotted by accident from the air by a fisheries agent, to the efforts to rescue the people on board.

We’re hearing an extended interview series, a chat with author John Kopp about his book, released in 2023, called CG41332, all about a little known Coast Guard tragedy in which three student crewmen died.
Kopp did extensive analysis of offical accounts about the incident. In the process of gathering information, he learned a great deal about the agency’s evolution, and the overwhemling job the Coast Guard is tasked with, under sometimes untenable circumstances.

In the meantime I hope you enjoy this interview series about a tragic real life incident that happened here in our maritime neighborhood.
Today we contiue hearing parts of an interview series featuring John Kopp. former USCG surfman, and author of a book about a little-known Coast Guard tragedy that happened on the Columbia River Bar in 1977. The book is titled CG41332, named for the boat involved in a horrendous accident in which three students lost their lives. It’s a harrowing, meticulously researched account of how things can go horribly wrong, even for the Coast Guard, in challenging conditions in our local maritime backyard.
Today Kopp reads from his book to explain a bit about the USCG at Cape Disappointment and the bar, which is so dynamic and dangerous.
